The President returns from a lengthy vacation in Hawaii costing U.S. taxpayers more than $4 million and he opens his year with a biased speech on “income inequality”. Does this topic seem a bit ironic to you? Or is it do as I say do…not as I do??? I wish we had a Harry Truman in the White House…he donated his $25,000 presidential salary to charity and drove back and forth home to Missouri as I recall.

Blatant Partisan Bias From The Leadership and Press

And I should add that he gave Michelle a very expensive Birthday Gift using taxpayer money…of an extended stay in Hawaii. Mr. Obama, in the interests of income inequality, and giving some modicum of respect to the 525,000+ Americans who gave up trying to find a job in December, why not use your own personal money to pay for birthday gifts for your spouse? This vacation extension will in all likelihood cost us more than a million dollars including the security staff needs.

Where is the equality, justice and humane caring in your rhetoric, decisions, policies and your actions? It seems that you are diametrically opposed to the proven successful logic and reason of a capitalistic society! Socialism is folly for America…we know better!

Such a farce and misleading agenda that you present to conscious Americans.

Mr. President, do you believe that all Americans are without common sense or do you just play to those without enough common sense or reasoning capacity to get them to vote for you? Surely even the most incompetent and total idealogs will get your messages sooner or later. Finding ways to hide and bend the truth causing delay of knowledge to the public should be considered by the courts as criminal offenses. You show everyone everyday how cold-hearted and uncaring you are by insisting upon taking away their health insurance policies and doctors that they really liked…when you once told them they could keep them. And you seem oblivious to the consequences???

And this year through insurance companies you and Kathleen Sebelius plan to spend more than $500 million on advertising campaigns to promote Obamacare which the majority of Americans do not want. If the program was that good you would not have to advertise it. This is madness! Stop wasting our money Mr. President!

And this week the liberal media shows their true colors again by giving more than 17 times more attention in 48 hours to the New Jersey Bridgegate than they have given in six months to Benghazi deaths of four brave citizens, the IRS Scandal, the Fast and Furious coverup and killings, the NSA coverup, the AP coverup, and more. The progressive liberal media finds delight in promoting an Obama agenda supporting their Democratic Party preferences while refusing to tell and investigate the truth about much more serious issues than a bridge closing for four hours.

The mainstream media’s refusal and blatant bias by intentionally and intellectually refusing to give fair coverage is a huge thumb in the eye to all American Citizens. I for one avoid watching and reading any of your coverages other than to gauge your degree of unfairness and inequality. The public press has a professional obligation to report the truth accurately and timely, and when they do not perform the public will render their verdict. It is my opinion that your media outlets should be boycotted…and over time I believe that you will reap what you have sowed. Remember the once popularity of newspapers?

It is much past time for bias and partisan politics to be put aside by the Democratic Progressive Party and consider for a moment what is in the best interests of the American People!

The president who was going to keep the focus on Obamacare yesterday digressed to give a base-pleasing, shopworn liberal ode to fighting income inequality. Don’t worry if you missed it. There was nothing new. Raise minimum wage! Extend unemployment benefits! More government spending! My goodness — it’s as if he has slept through the last 40 years of public policy research and economic experience.

Listen up, freedom fighters! It’s 2014, it’s January, and your state representatives are getting to work. Now is when the rubber hits the road!

Thirty-five state legislatures will be in session this month. In the upcoming weeks, your state may decide to support or reject the COS application. So we need your help. This is your time to shine, because letters and phone calls to your state representatives have never been so important.

Congressman Rob Woodall’s FairTax legislation recently acquired its 73rd co-sponsor, giving H.R. 25 (The FairTax) the most support the bill has had since its original introduction by John Linder in 1999. This is a significant step for the legislation that has been receiving consistent growth in support on Capitol Hill for years. Driven by a passionate grassroots movement, the FairTax would overhaul the federal tax code by replacing all existing income and payroll taxes with a one-time consumption tax on new goods and services at the point of purchase. Supporters favor the simplicity, transparency and voluntary nature of the approach stating it eliminates the complex, hidden and punitive qualities of the current structure.

The President’s leadership decisions and style are causing millions of Americans to be more deeply concerned every day. The results of his unpopular decisions and actions are reverberating throughout America at an alarming exponential rate. As one of Mr. Obama’s favorite Christian leaders… Jeremiah Wright once said… “America’s Chickens Are Coming Home To Roost”.

Cruz: The President Is Not Above The Law

And in the past we relied upon the mainstream news media to keep us informed. No longer can we look to the once popular news outlets to report the truth in a timely fashion. They are much more concerned about protecting Mr. Obama’s reputation and the left-wing socialist progressive agenda. The “good news” is that the alternative media made up of radio talk shows, fair and balanced tv new outlets, blogs, websites and thousands of responsible internet media outlets are bringing truth very quickly to the American People! It is amazing the number of sites on the internet that are providing non-biased, accurate news in a professional and timely fashion.

Most every day brings us news of more unconstitutional activities that are detrimental to America and it’s society including…

Presidential overreach

Selecting which laws he chooses to support

The results of his decisions in military matters

Ineffective and risky foreign policies for political purposes

Failure to be open and transparent on key issues

Fast and Furious Deaths and gun running

Benghazi Deaths and lack of actions to send attack forces

The IRS political vendettas

NSA unconstitutional mass data collection

The AP illiegal assaults on the news media

Choosing to solve the wrong problems so as to gain political favor with targeted voters

Failure to effectively address our employment issues

Failure to develop an effective energy policy including approval of the Keystone Pipeline

Destroying key parts of our productive society including coal mining

Developing thousands of laws to adversely affect businesses

Obamacare to take apart our healthcare system and waste millions of dollars which Americans do not want!

Bringing about cancellation of millions of American’s health care insurance policies and vital relationships with their doctors so as to achieve a political goal for his political party and especially himself

And the list goes on! Today the following issues are at the top of my lists….

Earlier this week I wrote that Michelle Obama’s household budget was $1.4 million per year for her personal White House Staff of (22) employees. You can check this information at Michelle Obama’s Staffas published by FactCheck.org. These expenditures far exceed the savings of $18,000 week/$996,000 year of closing the White House to all public visitors.

Now we learn that the White House is only closed to the American Public but not to Lobbyists and other special interest groups. See report below.

“My White House” or “The People’s White House”

_____________________________________

Regular American citizens visiting the nation’s capital lost access to the White House in March as President Obama eliminated public tours to make a point in his battle with House Republicans in the sequestration debate over cutting spending or raising taxes.

But hundreds of K Street lobbyists, including corporate advocates who are paid to influence policy on behalf of Fortune 500 giants, saw no change in their access to the chief executive and his senior aides, according to a Washington Examiner analysis of White House visitor logs and lobbying records.

The analysis found that 200 lobbyists met 344 times with White House officials at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. between March and May.

Yesterday the CBO issued a report that says that our current rate of Federal Government expenditures is unsustainable!

What this means is that our country will go broke at the current rate of expenditures!!!

For years now Ben Bernanke as head of the Federal Reserve has been printing money without anything backing it up (except the good faith of the United States Government-which can be spent into bankruptcy….remember Greece?).

And this is why Wall Street is so happy with this economic environment…interest rates are very low…corporations can borrow money very cheaply…and make substantial profits from their investments…and as a result…profits are excellent for many companies…all coming from the printing of unsecured money at low interest rates. As a result the stock market is experiencing strong gains based on company profits…as is expected. And as a result those with wealth gain more wealth.

Do you believe that this will ever end? Of course it will. And what do you think will happen? It is called major inflation for you and I. Prices of goods typically increase dramatically as inflation takes over.

Debt to reach 100% of GDP in 25 years, agency estimates

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Congressional budget analysts on Tuesday issued a stark new warning about the long-term U.S. budget outlook, just as lawmakers and the White House are staring at a pair of fiscal confrontations.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said that the U.S. national debt is now 73% of gross domestic product, the highest in history except for a period around World War II. The figure is twice the percentage it was at the end of 2007. Read the CBO report.

This President has implemented socialist policies that call for redistribution of wealth from the wealthy to the less wealthy…and that the IRS assumes the job of enforcing the extraction of money from those who earn it and give it to those who have not earned it. At the current rates of federal spending and social programs this system is doomed for failure. And now we have lost all trust in the ethics and actions of the IRS and those who give them orders.

Since we began the social programs in the early 60’s…the poor have not truly benefitted in terms of lifting themselves out of poverty. Many have had a free ride…and now President Obama is trying to drive this country to a total socialistic state with even more socialistic giveaway programs leading to bankruptcy…which the what the CBO is saying.

These actions are very disturbing to many of us and especially to me. It seems that the President has reached a “disconnect” from reality about what is going on in this country. Reports are that there is no one in the White House who is bringing him to see reality. One of my most colorful language friends would refer to their actions as “drinking their own bathwater”. Surely we should have protection as a country from wasteful political leaders confiscating our money and boon-doggling it all over the world on expensive trips, and unrealistic, wasteful programs. Is there no respect or recourse for citizens who pay taxes in the U.S.? Is our system of government failing us? Must we endure this hipocracy? I have always heard that the primary job of the President of the United States is protection of this country. Frankly, are we as safe as we once were?

The President and Vice President are busily focused on solving Syrian issues and considering Putin’s OpEd today to the New York Times. Surely these are important issues to be dealt with however… I ask the President, our U.S. Senate and U.S. Congress if those issues are more important than those here at home including Benghazi, The IRS scandal, The ObamaCare catastrophe, The Keystone Pipeline, fracking and our energy Issues, the debt ceiling, economic recovery and more?

The White House is also busily trying to appease the Unions from complaining and trying to get a waiver out of ObamaCare, while spending valuable time and resources listening to Putin’s diatribes about America’s deficiencies, with very little else of importance coming from the massive investment of White House czars, staff, chefs and (26) staff members for the President’s wife. It is not comprehensible to me as to why we must close the White House to public visitations at a cost of $17,000 per week while maintaining such an elite White House organization. Probably our most frugal president, Harry Truman and his wife Bess would turn over in their graves if they saw the money that this administration wastes. Mr. Truman and Bess came from their $12,000 home in Independence, Missouri to live in Washington. As I recall Harry Truman refused to take his salary of $25,000 a year to serve as President.

It appears to me that the important decisions and work for this country seem to get buried under political priorities…with too many signs that the this country’s White House leadership is totally out of control.

Many thanks go out to the thousands of motorcycle riders that elected to ride to Washington, DC yesterday…to show real respect for victims of 9/11…even in the face of seemingly political efforts to stop their ride. We really have a lot of work to do in righting this country. I would like to see our leadership focus on the real issues internal to this country.

Newly released emails show that Lois G. Lerner, the woman at the center of the IRS scandal over special scrutiny of conservative groups’ applications for tax-exempt status, specifically targeted tea party applications and directed they be held up in 2011 in order to come up with an agency policy.

“Tea Party Matter very dangerous,” Ms. Lerner said in the 2011 email, saying that those applications could end up being the “vehicle to go to court” to get more clarity on a 2010 Supreme Court ruling on campaign finance rules.
The email, released by a House committee investigating the IRS, seems to counter Democrats’ arguments that tea party groups weren’t specifically targeted.

Capitol Hill Republicans are trying to stop the Obama administration from offering labor unions a sweetheart deal on ObamaCare, as the White House tries to quell a simmering rebellion from Big Labor over the health care law.
President Obama and White House officials reportedly have called union leaders to try and persuade them to tone down their complaints, pledging an accommodation. The AFL-CIO, though, on Wednesday approved a resolution anyway calling the law “highly disruptive” to union plans.
